Areas Of Focus For SolRiver Acquisitions
SolRiver acquires early-stage to late-stage development projects, ranging from 3MW (in a portfolio) to over 150MW, in every major market across the US.
Below illustrates what we routinely acquire.
Project Sizes From DG to Utility-Scale
We acquire anything from distributed generation (3 MW to 5MW) portfolios to large utility scale 150MW solar + storage assets. Examples include:
- A portfolio of 3MW-AC community solar systems that total at least 15MW;
- A single 150MW solar QF project
- A 75MW solar and 300MWH storage project
- A portfolio of 100MW+ projects totaling 700MW in development
Stage of Development: early to NTP
We acquire projects from early to late stage. In each case, we can structure the purchase to provide the developer a clean exit or pay for ongoing development under a DSA, based on the seller’s preference.
Early Stage Development Assets. We acquire projects with site control and study results, but no offtake or permitting. We are comfortable handling the power marketing and local permitting, if the developer is seeking to exit as-is.
Mid-Stage Development. We acquire projects with site control, IX study results, and permits or offtake. SolRiver can structure the acquisition so that our team fills the remaining gaps or pays Developer for doing so.
NTP Projects. We acquire projects that are at or near NTP, meaning site control, interconnection agreements, discretionary permits, and offtake are secured.
Our Process
Our acquisitions typically take 6 weeks for projects that are have completed dataroom. Less advanced projects may take longer as we collaborate with the Developer. The general flow of our acquisition deals is as follows:
- Share Project Info. Provide us details about the project. We run it through our model.
- Agree On Price. We’ll share what we can pay for the project. If you verbally accept that price, we move to document review.
- Initial Diligence. We’ll review the key project documents and let you know if we see any red flags.
- Term Sheet. Once the project passes initial diligence, we issue a Term Sheet.
- Contract Negotiation & Full Diligence. After the Term Sheet is signed, we’ll prepare the MIPA and Developer Service Agreement. If the Developer is the EPC, we also prepare an EPC Agreement, and O&M Agreement. We’ll conduct additional diligence into technical, legal, and real estate issues, as applicable.
- Begin Funding. Once the project satisfies the agreed upon closing/funding conditions, we begin making payments.
